Speaking of which, since participating in the filming of "Fist of Fury", Wang Xiaohu has not played a supporting role for more than ten years. Baidu search enters "" to quickly enter this site
In his career as an actor, he has only appeared as a supporting actor in "Fist of Fury" and "A Warrior's Journey". In other movies, he has been a starring role. This kind of guest role is really the first time for him. .
Although her costume was a bit restrictive, and although her appearance was ridiculed by Long Zichen as tacky, she still sat there seriously, pushed up her sunglasses on her nose, and said, "This is our rare guest appearance as a virgin." show."
This made the whole crew laugh.
Long Zichen hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not very tacky. I'm just used to the way you used to wear Tang suits and casual clothes. When you put on formal clothes, you put on a serious and majestic expression, which made people feel It¡¯s awkward.¡±
¡°I am dedicating myself to art.¡±
The crew laughed again.
Wang Xiaohu¡¯s guest appearance is very small, only a few shots and two scenes.
In one scene, he and Leslie Cheung were sitting together and watching Zhu Baoyi on the stage playing the cello. During this period, Leslie Cheung imitated him and crossed his legs, which made him frown. As a result, Zhu Baoyi on the stage made a mistake and ruined the exam, and he clapped his hands like a prank. applaud.
Another scene was when Zhu Baoyi and Leslie Cheung complained to each other and walked out of the theater. Wang Xiaohu happened to drive out in his private car. As a result, Leslie Cheung smashed the back window with his cello. He opened his mouth and said "ah".
Today we only filmed the first scene. Wang Xiaohu, Zhu Baoyi and others are all veteran actors, so it was completely the same.
¡° On the other hand, Leslie Cheung was participating in a film shoot for the first time and had very little experience, which made John Woo jump on his feet.
"Young man, is it difficult for you to cross your legs and make eye contact with the boss? How did you do it? You have done it five or six times!"
John Woo¡¯s face turned blue with anger, he threw the script on his seat and ran to the side to smoke a cigarette.
Leslie Cheung looked embarrassed, a little aggrieved, and in a very low mood.
Wang Xiaohu smiled and shook his head when he saw this, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shi Zai, do you feel aggrieved?"
Leslie Cheung nodded, then shook his head and said, "Boss, I, I feel that I may not be suitable for filming."
Leslie Cheung actually backed down, which is not a good sign.
If this guy suddenly lost his temper and stopped filming, Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", Xu Zai in "Days of Being Wild", Ouyang Feng in "Ashes of Time", Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story" , where can I find people for these classic characters who have made their names in film history?
Those are all classics, especially "Farewell My Concubine" which directly shined in Cannes.
No, you have to convince this guy no matter what you say.
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaohu said: "It's okay. You are a newcomer. It is normal for you not to understand acting."
"Look at Fa Zai. He didn't know how to act before. When he first participated in the filming of "Ip Man", I scolded him even more harshly than you. Now his acting skills have matured and become a school of his own. Did you work hard to get there?"
"Look at Huang Rihua, Andy Lau, and Stephen Chow. Which one of them knew how to film from birth? Didn't they all get there step by step through filming?"
"What we Hong Kong people lack most is the fighting spirit." Seeing that Leslie Cheung was listening carefully, Wang Xiaohu continued: "Let's talk about you again. You won the runner-up in the 1977 Asian Amateur Singer Competition, and then entered the music scene. During this period, you must have been contracted. I scolded you, if you had given up, would you have achieved what you have today?"
"That's all I'm saying. Whether you take this path or not is entirely up to you. Think about it carefully."
After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards John Woo. After finishing the actor's ideological work, he still had to communicate with the director. Sometimes the producer is not easy to do.
"John, don't be angry, Shi Zai is a newcomer, he's just ordinary."
John Woo put out his cigarette butt and said somewhat depressedly: "Boss, you may not know that Shi Zai is too easily influenced by the outside media. After he saw the newspaper today, he has been out of shape. I have told him several times, but he is still It's obvious that he is uncooperative, what else can I do? If you hadn't thought so highly of him, I would have asked for a replacement."
"Give him more opportunities. You, Fa Zai and Ti Lung should also teach him some filming experience." Wang Xiaohu sat down and said, "Isn't he out of shape today? Let's change the filming of Fa Zai and Ti Lung first. Take him out to calm down."
"Okay." Wu Yusen had no choice but to get up.??Arrange the next scene to be shot.
"Shizi, come back to the company with me." Wang Xiaohu called Leslie Cheung, then dragged Long Zichen and hurried to the company.
On the way back in the car, Wang Xiaohu said, "Zi Chen, have you implemented the people you poached from Taiwan?"
Long Zichen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I have been poached for a long time. The little girl will definitely support you at the fastest speed for your boss Wang's instructions. How can I dare to delay your plan."
"Hehe, look what you said, I'm not doing it for myself, Li Sheng Records has added a strong player!" Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "That's Luo Dayou!"
"I didn't expect to poach him so easily." Long Zichen said: "The person who was sent said that if there were not two collaborations in "The Look of You" and "If the Wine Is Sold Without", plus Li Sheng The record is somewhat famous, and with Radisson acting as the middleman, Luo Dayou doesn¡¯t want to change jobs.¡±
"Thank you Lijun for me."
Long Zichen raised her eyebrows slightly and said angrily: "Why don't you thank me?"
"Uh! Thank you too." Wang Xiaohu grinned and said awkwardly: "Which one of us is following the other? It's so polite."
"snort."
The two people's flirtatious working style surprised Leslie Cheung in the back seat. Since joining Lisheng Records, this was the first time he had seen the boss lady socute and feminine. , you must know that Long Zichen has always maintained the image of a strong woman to the outside world.
After a while, Leslie Cheung remembered something: "Boss, wasn't I the one to sing the theme song of "A Better Tomorrow"? Uncle Zhan and Uncle Hui have already prepared the lyrics and music, so why did you invite Luo Dayou?"
This is what Leslie Cheung can¡¯t understand. After all, singing is his only specialty at the moment. If even the theme song is taken away, his status in Lisheng will also be challenged.
"You are still responsible for singing the theme song "Love of the Year"." Seeing his misunderstanding, Long Zichen hurriedly explained: "We asked Luo Dayou to be responsible for one of the interludes. Ahu said that without that interlude, the meaning of the entire movie would be greatly reduced. .¡±
Leslie Cheung said "Oh" and finally felt calm.
After arriving at Concord International, Xia Houmo had been waiting at the front desk for a long time. When he saw Wang Xiaohu and three others coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Hu, the recording studio is ready. When will work start?"
"Um."
Xia Houmo's work efficiency is getting faster and faster. Wang Xiaohu nodded in approval, "You take Shizi to record the song first. Where is Luo Dayou?"
"VIP reception room." Xia Houmo said and led Leslie Cheung to record the song.
?¡
"Mr. Luo, let's make a long story short. On the one hand, I want to recruit you here because there is a new film that needs your help in completing the episode. On the other hand, I have heard about your musical attainments for a long time and want you to develop in Hong Kong."
Wang Xiaohu likes to be direct now. After all, the company has a lot of things to deal with, and he also has to make arrangements for his trip to the United States in a week.
With excitement on his face, Luo Dayou stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, Lijun has made it clear to me. I am deeply honored to join Lisheng Records. Thank you and Ms. Long for taking this seriously."
"Happy." Wang Xiaohu clapped his hands and handed over a printed document: "Here, this is my request for the episode of the new film. I want a group of innocent and lovely children to pray for a beautiful peace with their sincere songs The main reason is that the action scenes in this movie are too violent. We have to convey a good wish. The past and the present cannot be changed. The only thing that can be changed is tomorrow What's more, it is sung by children, because children themselves represent hope!"
"Will it be better tomorrow?" Luo Dayou asked after reading the document.
"Yes, it's "Tomorrow Will Be Better"" Wang Xiaohu suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That's the name of the episode, yes, yes, yes, how could I forget it."
I think back then, Wang Xiaohu couldn't forget this episode in "A Better Tomorrow". It sounded catchy, but he didn't know the title of the song. If he knew the title and complete lyrics, how could he hire the original creator Luo Dayou? He did it himself Isn't it better?
But he was too busy and didn¡¯t have the time or thought to bother with it. Instead of doing that, he might as well let the original creator of the song create it.
"A Better Tomorrow" itself describes a dirty society. When the law has no way to solve the problem and the most brutal method is used to end it, listen to the babbling of the children and the immature children's voices singing "More will be updated tomorrow" Good" Don't have any feelings.
It seems to be a foreshadowing of the eve of the war, the calm before the storm, that feeling cannot be sung by ordinary singers or singing groups.
What's more, the English titles of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" and "A Better Tomorrow" are "a-better-tomorrow"?? exactly echoes.
Heroes and knights, the spirit of the world, are just our wandering childhood dreams.
Therefore, with the wonderful performances of Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Li Zixiong, Zhu Baoyi, Tsang Jiang and others, it is not outstanding. With Leslie Cheung's "The Love of the Year" is not perfect, only with "Tomorrow Will Be Better", Only then can the artistic conception of the entire movie be raised to a higher level.
After all, John Woo still doesn¡¯t know how to let go of doves these days. "Tomorrow Will Be Better" is an indispensable part of the film.
"A group of innocent and lively children?" Luo Dayou frowned and thought for a long time before recommending: "Mr. Wang, there is a children's choir in Taiwan established in the 1970s. Although it has always sang cartoon theme songs, I think They should be able to do it.¡±
"Oh? What's your name?" Wang Xiaohu asked.
Luo Dayou said: "Songjiang Children's Chorus."
"Zi Chen, did you hear that? Send someone to dig it out quickly!"¡ª¡ª
